Someone's not happy...
A spokesmen for North Korea issued a statement responding to the release of the new film The Interview.
The film has been condemned by North Korea for its mocking depiction of Kim Jung-Un and his (fictional) assassination at the hands of two bumbling Abbot and Costelo-like celebrity journalists.

I'm just going to say what we're all thinking: rofl, is that it? Is this why The Interview was pulled? Is this what we were afraid of?
I admit, the statement contains a few gems (my personal favorite is "Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest."). But overall, it is just what we have come to expect from North Korea: rambling, incoherent, and full of empyt rhetoric and threats. It once again reminds us that there is nothing in North Korea for which to take seriously.
Free expression and speech is one of the fundamental rights we have, and we should NEVER let any foreign country, let alone North Korea, dictate, through acts of terrorism and fear, its limits.
